FlowVid documentation
Every FlowVid setting, status and option, explained in plain words.
Overview
FlowVid is a Chrome extension that runs a batch of AI videos in Google Flow for you. You add prompts, press Start batch, and FlowVid creates a Flow project, turns on Agent mode, sets your instructions and options, sends each prompt, approves each video and downloads every clip.
You can also let your AI send jobs to FlowVid through a Google Sheet.
Note. Google Flow can change its pages. If FlowVid cannot find a button, it reports the step and saves a page map so we can fix it.
The queue and statuses
The queue shows every prompt in your batch and what FlowVid is doing with it, in plain language.
- Waiting
- The prompt is in line and has not been sent yet.
- Sending
- FlowVid is sending the prompt to Google Flow.
- Generating
- Google Flow is making the video.
- Done
- The video is approved and downloaded.
- Failed
- Something went wrong. The queue shows the reason.
Settings
Set these once. FlowVid applies them to every batch.
- Video model
- Which Flow model makes your videos. Default is Omni 1.1 Flash.
- Aspect ratio
- 9:16 vertical or 16:9 horizontal, for video and image.
- Outputs per prompt
- How many versions Flow makes for each prompt. Default is x1.
- Approve automatically
- Sets Confirm before generating to Never in Agent settings, so each video is approved for you.
Agent instructions
FlowVid adds your instructions to the Flow project so they apply to every prompt in the batch.
- Project instructions
- The overall style, tone and rules for the whole batch.
- Character consistency
- A description of your character, with your avatar as the reference image.
- Script instructions
- How each scene should be written or paced.
Tip. Describe your character once in Character consistency instead of repeating it in every prompt.
@me avatar
Write @me in a prompt and FlowVid uses your avatar as the reference image, so your character stays the same across clips.
If FlowVid cannot find your avatar it pauses and asks you to add a reference image. Add one, then resume.
Downloads and file names
Every clip is saved in your Downloads folder as Downloads/FlowVid/<batch>/Shot 01 - <name>.mp4, in the order of your prompts.
FlowVid downloads in 1080p, or the best size your plan offers.
Note. 1080p needs a Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra plan. Flow credits are used as normal and FlowVid adds no cost in Flow.
Renaming and scenes
FlowVid renames clips in Flow as Shot 01, Shot 02 and so on, and can add them to one scene so your batch stays together.
Google Sheet mode
Let Gemini, Claude or ChatGPT write jobs into your own Google Sheet. FlowVid picks them up, runs them and writes the result back.
